  1. It's been floated on here before, but is there somebody on this forum that sits on this advisory board: https://www.avfc.co.uk/fans/fan-engagement/fan-advisory-board ? It says VillaTalk on it. I would do it but would imagine whoever is involved has more clout. Is this public address system (thank you @The Fun Factory) ever discussed? I would imagine if they did a poll as mentioned by @tommytenjobs it would be overwhelmingly against the music. I would love to get the club aware of this issue.
  2. Fair comparison. I do question whether this is really applied commonly across the board though. The fact Harry Winks is in the thumbnail is perhaps indicative that it might not be...
  3. There is absolutely no debate in my eyes that the tannoy is one of the biggest culprits for dimming the atmosphere. Also why have we sacked off the countdown for the entrance music? Crazy Train ain't a football song and it definitely ain't entrance music. Literally can't hear the Holte End before kick-off anymore. They need to sort it out. It's embarrassing.
  4. In fairness, Cash played RM and we were pretty naff in the first-half of that game.
  5. Think possibly got it wrong yesterday but I saw the logic of keeping it tight for 60 and going for it in last 30 with Diaby for Lenglet/Cash. I think that was the plan. Problem obviously was conceding in that period before that theoretical sub. Emery perhaps over-thought this one in terms of game(s) management and ended up paying, but again I (think) I saw what he was trying to do. Either way, under Smith/Gerrard we almost always played one-way. It's not a terrible thing to bring in an element of tactical pragmatism/flexibility in the interests of perhaps keeping players fresher for certain phrases of games/the schedule as a whole. Some managers would've canned either Ajax or Spurs in favour of one or the other. At least we are giving both our absolute best even with so many injuries.
  6. If the ref gives a red, it's not getting overturned. But he shouldn't imo. It's an "orange". My main gripe with this - and it has been for a long time in the league as a whole - is that in this day and age the Premier League should be reviewing every single red and applying a ban on a case-by-case basis. The NBA do it, and the punishment varies. PL/PGMOL obviously have the resource to do this. Whether you agree it's a red or not, it's scandalous that it's a three-game ban because of archaic rules. I'd go as far as saying it's potentially ruined our season because of what McGinn brings, which is totally unique in the squad. Not the ref's problem obviously, but it's still something which cannot be happening in 2024 because of default rules. I don't even care about the result. Just very frustrated we'll miss him for three games.
  7. Will have to play against Ajax right? Konsa suspended, Chambers ineligible. Guess Carlos would be fit but would imagine Pau starts.
  8. Amazing how negative people are. They have to win here.
  9. Get to HT 0-0 and job done really. Only going to get stronger as game goes on given our bench.
  10. Bookmakers didn't cover Albanian football for years because it's so corrupt. Makes you think about this ref
  11. Think we might see Diaby on the right and Rogers more behind Watkins.
  12. Hope everyone can come together for the minute's applause in memory of Bentancur
